Variables and Controls

State the EXPLANATORY variable

You only want to work with ONE

State the RESPONSE variable

You only want to work with ONE

Controls

What things will be the same in all your observational units – in each sample.

Procedures

Your procedures for your project must be explicit.

Think of it this way – if you give your procedures to SOMEONE ELSE, can they do exactly what you wanted to replicate the study? They should!nIf you are handing out a survey: DO NOT say “Create a survey”. That means I create one and it can (and WILL) be completely different from yours. Instead, say “Pass out Survey A” or “Pass out Teen Eating Habits Survey” and include a copy of the survey. Yes, this means you need to make your survey NOW! You are doing data collection very soon!
